The Seattle Seahawks are interviewing San Francisco 49ers tight ends coach Brian Fleury for their vacant offensive coordinator position. Fleury has worked his way up the coaching ranks since 2013, including stints with the Buffalo Bills and Cleveland Browns. The Seahawks are also considering internal candidates such as Andrew Janocko, Jake Peetz, Justin Outten, and Mack Brown as they look to replace Klint Kubiak, who left to become the new head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders.

Why it matters
